    I have stock drivers and it gives blue screens after I double click the icon. Any other W3J owners have this problem?

    I have the mobile 7.9 catalyst (direct from AMD/ATI's website) and I can get through the initial intro advertisements, but then it crashes back to my desktop. I'm disappointed that I can't run the demo right now, but I can wait till they release a more refined version of the demo.

    Use the drivers Brainonska suggested. The stock drivers gave me all sorts of problems with other games. There is a link in a thread entitle w3j video problems to download the 7.9 drivers directly. They work very well.

    I have not tested them yet with UT3.

    The link in the W3J video thread might give you the 7.10 (released 10/11). I don't have a problem with the 7.9s, I just can't run the demo and I don't know what is causing the issue :(.
